Washington DC, House Speaker Mike Johnson’s talk about “drastically” reducing the federal government is popular with voters, although they’re not sure the new Congress will actually follow through.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 61% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of cutting back the size of the federal government, including 37% who Strongly Approve. Twenty-nine percent (29%) disapprove, including 15% who Strongly Disapprove, while another 10% are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Let’s cut the waste in government spending and have the wealthy also pay their fair share of taxes. Too much of the burden is placed on the disappearing middle class.
The “Wealthy” pay an almost burdensome portion of taxes paid to the Federal Government. Please stop with the leftist, liberal nonsense. It’s important to be truthful. I’m not in the 10%, not even close.
“the top 5% of earners — people with incomes $252,840 and above — collectively paid over $1.4 trillion in income taxes, or about 66% of the national total. If you include the top 10% — everyone who made at least $169,800 — that figure rises to $1.7 trillion, or 76% of the total.” “The top 1% of earners pay 45.8% of income taxes.”
The actually wealthy do not pay a burdensome portion of taxes — that’s how they stay wealthy — because the “wealthy” do not have incomes. If you’re making an income of $250k you are not actually wealthy. You just have a little more privilege than the slave directly beneath you. But flatter yourself all you like.
It’s the tired old line about “we need to raise the taxes on the wealthy!” and all the little people cheer and say “yes, yes, bleed those fat cats dry! make them pay their fair share!” never realizing that the fat cats are just some poor slobs making $175k+ a year. That’s not liberalism, that’s the truly wealthy training you to hate the people they hate.
Unfortunately Congress thinks the American public is its bottomless piggy bank. They need to do a change in mindset. We all need to be fiscally responsible.
Oh, here we go with polls again. Trust the sci– I mean the polls, people. Hillar–I mean Kamala is winning by a landslide.
Can you spot the obvious lie in this? Without recourse to fake polls? Let’s deal with what’s real. Who actually makes up the majority of registered voters? What cohort?
Do you think that class of individuals would sincerely vote away all the entitlements they’ve previously voted for themselves? Obviously not.
The majority of govt employees I have encountered are obvious DEI hires who don’t give a shit
and its impossible to fire someone who ‘checks 2 boxes’
DC has a spending problem, not a revenue problem.
